Hello my Friends!
I was looking and also trying some XDA Roms and i release that most of the ROMS are the near same. I saw the latest original HTC DIAMOND2 with HTC sense and i am impressed!
The performance of the latest original HTC D2 ROM is very good with nice responce. D2 hardware is the same like Touch Pro (or near the same...CPU etc)and i believe most of the users here need a ROM like D2 and stable too.
I need a ROM and not so fancy&stable and i believe this is the secret for the right ROM.
For me a ROM like original D2 is fine! and if i want something extra i will update or play with registry.
Kind regards,
George
Take your time to read ROM threads and flash you will find the ROM that suits your wants\needs.
Not ROM Development thread closed.

Im new to these forum, but Im kinda familiar with all these stuff. I was searching alot in this website but I can't still find what I want.
Im trying to get the WM6.5 without been modified into a different theme, icons, and that kinda stuff, I just want the original ROM but of course the most update one.
Also the WM6.5 ROM with the original HTC stuff ( nothing complicated)
And also the recommended Radios for those ROMS
I have the HTC Touch Pro (Sprint)
Any recommendations on any other ROMS, Im more than glad to hear from everyone.
THANX ALOT!!!
You'll find some great 6.5 ROMs here:

hi
i have a htc hero with official latest rom, which custom rom is the best to update to
also what is main diffierence between custom rom and official rom
and please do reply
thanks
Read the threads in this forum, they've listed pros/cons and instructions on how to install as well as what's included in each.
The choices you have are:
- MoDaCo 2.6 (from a happy tradition of about 15 releases since about the start of September)
- Drizzy's Hero ROM (One version released, now unmaintained)
- Drizzy's Hero Blur Port (0.6-r2, maintained by other users on this forum and Drizzy himself now I think, it's a port of the Motorola Blur UI on to the Hero platform)
- Donut ION Port (Plain jain Android Donut build on the Hero)
If you want a good user experience that's an improvement of the HTC Hero builds, definitely without doubt get Modaco 2.6, but if youre into bug tracking, fixing, hacking and development give one of the others a go and help the community I guess.
ok thank you is it really worth going to modaco from offical rom? also will it still be same android os?
thanks
Well, you have to make up your mind yourself, but I'd say absolutely without a doubt.
I'm not sure what HTC Rom you have at the moment, but the original ROM was terrible, just attrocious, and Modaco's ROM (1.5 at the time, I think), was a god send. And its just been getting better even since.
Put Amons Hero recovery image v1.2.3 on, get it to partition your SD card correctly ready for Apps2sd, then get Pauls MCR 2.6 rom on your phone, you wont regret it
Hello all!
I'm new to this and I have a few questions.
I have been reading around a little bit but it doesn't help much when you have so many codenames like Eclair, donut, vanilla and now CyanogenMod-5 that I got interested.
I have a HTC Hero, I would wait for HTC update to have Android 2.1 but the update got delayed to June. I don't want to wait 2 months for it and that's how I decided to try flashing it.
1) What are my ROM options to flash it? Is it all of them compatible or just a few ? Like, only Hero-compatible ROMs or ROMs compatible to devices that support Android ?
2) Basically I want Android 2.1 (Eclair, right?) but don't want to lose the HTC UI. Is that possible ? (the look, the widgets, etc..)
3) On the other hand, not only I don't want to lose HTC's UI as I'd like more of it. HTC Desire for example has more and new widgets that Hero doesn't have. Is there a community ROM that contains those ? Do I need a special ROM for that ?
4) Does all the ROMs contains the latest dev kernel versions ? the latest android dev version that is.
5) Does it have an auto update to update the ROM ?
6) What's the difference between Vanilla and Donut ? I see many talking about Vanilla, but shoulnd't I want the Donut instead ? ( sounded funny, I know )
Thank you in advance !
Looking forward to socialize in this forum.

1. Only HTC Hero rom's should be flashed (if you're not on Sprint Hero then you're GSM so look for GSM rom's = most) - the wiki has a page dedicated to which rom's are available.
2. HTC theme is called rosie, so look for a rosie enabled rom
3. Some extra widgets come with them - check with each release (you can find them all in the development section)
4. No, most are based upon leaked kernals which have been hacked together to work, they work well enough but as soon as the official 2.1 kernal is available for the hero it will be added in to the rom's
5. Some have OTA updates (e.g. VillainROM)
6. Vanilla just means without the HTC Sense UI (Rosie) so you don't want a vanilla rom. Donut is v1.5 (or maybe 1.6?) of android i believe.
And welcome to the community
Check out my guides for all your needs XD

Thank you! that helped tons!
One more question, mine is not Sprint Hero, just Hero
So it's certain that this is a GSM device ?
How can I tell if it's GSM or CDMA ?
gsm means u can use any sim card
cdma means u cant
Awesome. So mine must be GSM.
Now, what is Radio ROM ?
What is Radio ? Do I have to flash that as well ?
EDIT: I think I get it. It can improve the signal, yes ?
But is it safe to flash this? what are my restrictions?
Looks much more dangerous than flashing a custom ROM
Ok, much more complicated than I thought!
I need to downgrade my kernel first,
didn't find any up to date tutorials on that
only then I need to root and finally flash it
I installed this " ROM Manager " where you have some easy options:
Install ROM from SD card, Download Rom, Check for ROM Updates
just with a click (tap)
That one is easier, but does it work ? How come noone mentions this ROM Manager ?
That are many ROMs to choose..
I take it VillainROM 5.4 is the most popular/older ?
As long as it has Android 2.1 plus the latest Sense UI (not vanilla) then the number of options get trimmed a bit (or so I hope)

Its not too difficult, follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, its bang on. Install custom recovery, flash ROM.
No you do not need to downgrade your kernal. When you flash the ROM it will sort that out for you.
As for using 2.1 ROMs, I haven't taken the plunge yet, I'm using MCR3.2 which is a tweaked fast and stable 1.5 ROM.
You're right, btdag's guide did it for me. Very very useful.
Since I didn't have to worry about kernel, it wasn't thaaat hard.
I already installed VillainRom 5.4 and it's great !
Thanks for answering my questions !
Pls can anyone help me i've been looking everywhere but i found nothing.Thx in advance
First this part ot the forum is for ROM development
Second in any ROM you just go to settings-today and disable htc sense
yes i know, but i wanted a very light rom, cooked without sense
i use this one:

very stable and fast.
Or this one
Hi guys! I need tour advice. I want to bring this htc sence and all htc softaware on my hero to hell, and i need some advice about custom rom.
What of all custom rom's don't include this creepy htc software and work nice w/o bugs and so on?
Hi. Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
You will have to look on the AOSP - no Sense ROMs.
Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta, but 2.2 ROMs have everything working fine and are really fast.
Elelinux gingerbread rom is really the best IMHO now try it out from the developement threads
Agree on using elelinux gingerbread now starting to prefer the stock ROM (though need to use a dialler replacement!)
